Rubicon (2010) is a conspiracy drama about the battle between a huge secret organization that controls the world and a government data analyst . James Badge Dale plays Will Travers, a government employee who lost his wife and child in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The watch he wears in this film is the IWC Spitfire UTC (Ref. IW325105) .
It's a professional model with a chic design, but with a large triangular design that is typical of pilot watches (a mark that allows the user to instantly identify the 12 o'clock position even while piloting a fighter jet). It's a watch that combines intelligence and activity , befitting the character image of a "data analyst fighting a huge conspiracy."

Libya in 2012 was known as one of the most dangerous places in the world. The American consulate in the port city of Benghazi was attacked by an Islamic extremist militant group. The CIA, secretly stationed in Benghazi, intercepted a request for help from the consulate, but as the CIA was a top secret presence in Libya, it was unable to head there to provide assistance. The private military company mercenary team "GRS," which had been dispatched to the CIA, was also ordered to wait by Bob ( David Costabile ), the CIA's chief.
The consulate was set on fire by extremists, and the life of the ambassador hiding in a shelter inside the consulate was also in danger. The mercenaries of the GRS, who had reached the limit of their patience, under the command of their leader Ron ( James Badge Dale ), disobey CIA orders and head to the consulate to rescue the ambassador.

13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016) is a political action film that depicts the truth behind the 2012 US diplomatic mission attack . James Badge Dale , who plays Ron Woods, the leader of the private military company's mercenary team GRS, wears a Rolex Green Submariner in the film. This watch is both durable and waterproof, befitting Ron Woods, a former member of the US Navy's elite Navy SEALs.
In the scene where the watch is worn in the film, it is the " Ref. 116610LV ", but in the scene where the damaged watch is retrieved, it is the previous generation " Ref. 16610LV" . " It looks like the broken one is a prop made for props. I guess they were hesitant to destroy a real Rolex.

As a result, everything was burned down.
Eric believes that in order to protect people's lives and property from forest fires, they too should become "hot shots" with strong command authority, so he and his deputy Jesse ( James Badge Dale ), who he respects, take the audition to be promoted to "hot shots" in the forest fire brigade. However, there has never been a precedent in the past for a local government fire brigade to be promoted to "hot shots"...

summary
What did you think.
James Badge Dale 's physical good looks in " 24 " (2006) had me thinking, "Maybe in a few years, he'll be a young action star." But my prediction turned out to be wrong. He played a supporting role in the film, and became a great actor who added spice to the film (mysterious condescending attitude). Look at this photo. Don't you think he has a nice vibe ?

The good looks that first appear on the market eventually become more sophisticated and sophisticated over time, and this is true for actors and luxury watches alike. The vintage feel that new or new watches don't have brings a sophisticated atmosphere and down-to-earth individuality to both movies and watch styling.
It is said that "Tom Cruise is Tom Cruise no matter what movie he appears in." In fact, it is not the leading star actor that creates the individuality of a movie, but the power of these supporting actors who show different faces and characters in each work.
Even in the world of watches, if you only sell current models from popular and well-known brands, you can't create the individuality of your store. Vintage and lesser known but tasteful watches add spice to the store and create its individuality. I would like to continue to actively feature such " actors and watches who are not stars but have good taste ." Because I like them.
see you!
